The Quick & Easy Way To A Sparkling Smile

Imagine your mouth gleaming like a toothpaste ad, your visits to the dentist always resulting in a pat on the back, and never worrying about bad breath, plaque, a furry tongue or bleeding gums?

And what if we told you this is actually pretty easy to achieve, without very much effort or expense? In this article, we reveal the deeper benefits of oil pulling and how to do it.

Oil Pulling is an Ayurvedic practice that you might have heard of before... it’s nothing complicated, you just swish a teapoon of cold-pressed oil around in your mouth for 15mins. The oil increases saliva and draws out bacteria and other toxins from your mouth, trapping them and allowing you to get rid, leaving a clean and shiny smile.

Get a healthy smile by swishing a tsp of organic coconut oil around your mouth for 15mins.

The benefits are where it gets exciting, these include:

Eradicating bad breath

Reducing and preventing plaque

Improving health of gums

Reducing teeth sensitivity

Helping with allergies

Science is now linking systemic problems like heart disease, stroke and diabetes to the state of our oral health, so the benefits could extend far beyond our mouths.

Why try oil pulling?

We love going down the natural route at OB, so using freshly pressed oil and avoiding abrasive techniques and alcohol-based, brightly coloured mouthwashes (is the neon shade really necessary!?) is surely worth a try.
